Guwahati (Assam) – Some people protested against the Christmas celebration at Silchar, Assam, on the night of 25th December. They demanded the programme be stopped. The Police said that no crime has been registered.
In a purported video clip of the incident that has gone viral on social media, a youth, who has a saffron scarf around his head, is seen saying that they have no problems with Christians celebrating Christmas but do not approve of the Hindus doing so. “Today is Tulsi Diwas…but everyone is lighting candles and saying ‘Merry Christmas’… that has hurt the sentiments,” the youth says in the video. The person has put forth a question that if everyone starts giving the best wishes of Christmas, how will our religion survive ?
